The latest update shows increases of 2,594,684 in the total number of records; 1,122,605 in the number of distinct records; and 1,160,379 in the number of unique records. The Year/Event showing the largest increase in total records is 1875 Births, but it would be misleading to highlight this as the area most likely to contain a missing ancestor. Although total records have increased by 452,909 (from 904,599 to 1,357,508), the distinct records have increased by 61,804 (from 824,721 to 886,525) and unique records have increased by just 32,579 (from 815,309 to 847,888). The bulk of the "new" records are second keying. I have therefore based my analysis on "distinct" records. There are 726,701 more Births. The big increases are for 1907 with 180,147 and 1891 with 121,882 but there are 9 other years with increases over 20K: 1878 (69,939); 1875 (61,804); 1842 (50,092); 1873 (42,956); 1844 (41,035); 1887 (31,564); 1890 (26,017); 1861 (26,004) and 1871 (23,644). There are 86,264 less Marriages than before. The only year with a sizeable increase is 1907 with 43,754. The major reduction is 1849 with -33,965, but there are 4 other years with reductions in excess of 10K records. There are 482,168 more Deaths. The big increases are for 1910 with 180,147 and 1888 with 92,860 but there are 4 other years with increases over 16K: 1852 (64,301); 1886 (41,522); 1847 (35,538) and 1841 (32,060) Happy searching/transcribing Peter Dauncey
